I stood like a hair less widow who's inlaws had accused of murdering my husband, as I watched our martial art lecturer who coached us on fighting our demons and failure lectured us aggressively. apparently it was a practical class so one after the other our lecturer who happens to be the coach would pair each victim to a black ninja we were to wrestle with the black ninja's and win. If we failed then the fight would start all over again untill we won.
Now, this ninjas were not just humans but they were specific representatives of our failures that led us to the school of resurrection.to some their ninjas were academic failure, to some smoking, to some stealing, to some stubborness, to some lukewarmness and to me it was Jamb failure.
I wore the black samurai robe as instructed by my coach and faced the demon in front of me.
"AB6 It's time to say no to failure by killing the failing jamb ninja.think about all the times you failed Jamb,all the times you saw your mates smilling at their university admission slip while you stayed at home doing nothing, all the times you repeatedly kept reading four subjects for six years, all the times your siblings laughed at you, all the times your parents, friends, and everyone looked down on you thinking you'd amount to nothing, now look that failing jamb ninja in the eye and beat the shit out of it because enough is enough"my coach said.
Immediately he finished uttering his last sentence I kicked the ninja on his stomach and then he attacked,all the coach said made a whole lot of sense,I could feel the flame heated up in me.it's the reason why my family dragged me to his hole in the first place.things began to fall apart in my life, I loosed focus, I had no mendulla oblongata stability,I lost the love and trust my family had for me."Aaaahhhhh"I screamed and beat up the ninja so fast, non stop untill I brought the Failing Jamb ninja to it's kness, then I stole a gun from my coach's pocket and shot the black ninja's left foot,and he fell to the ground.
"Stop!" My coach screamed.I looked at him guiltily and take four steps away from the ninja.
Apparently it wasn't a bullet that knocked the ninja down but a little siringed arrow.
"AB6, your here to kill your fears, failures and demons not murder humans, what If you grabbed the gun that contained a real bullet so you'd pull the trigger???your lucky you only knocked him out with a drug that's gonna cause him to sleep for 18 hours"
I release the gun from my hand to the ground and throw myself to the floor.what had I done? I was gradually becoming a monster ,I noticed my sudden anger and irritation at things.I pictured a life of greener pastures often, I longed for sucess everyday, I wanted the best for my future.I was determined to eliminate the obstacles in my journey to retrieve my treasures back.
"Congratulations AB6 you are gradually ressurrecting from your grave of failure.you passed this test"my coach said to me as he gave me a hand to help me get off the ground.I smiled and thanked him.that's what I thought.

Tonight was called the guardian night.apparently it was turn for Abraham lincoln's hostel residents to guard their night.
We were Instructed to move our bags to the forest area at 7pm,in other to go and build our tents on time before the Beast of the forest attacked us.as soon as mr Daniel finshed his statement I moved to my locker and packed up all the stuffs needed for the night in my camp bag pack which the school had distributed to us all and moved out of the hostel towards the forest.the moment I got there I quickly
started fixing up my tents together and by 8:30 I was done.
We started putting up our camp fire and fortunately for us the trap we set before making our tents in the forest actaully caught a bush animal and we the residents of Abraham lincoln's hostel roasted the meat and ate it afterwards.at about 10pm we got into our tents and laid down ready.
"Owl wuuuuuuulll"I heard, at about 12:00am I rosed up from my bed and sat straight with the gun and the knife that was distributed to us three weeks ago."AB6 did you hear that?"a voice from the next tent asked me.Immediately I unzipped my tent and came out to stand infront of it.surprisingly I was the very last warrior to come out of my tent cause AB1 to AB5 were already infront of their tents with their weapons giving me the so finally your awake look.
"AB2 and AB3 come with me. While AB4, 5 and 6 guard our tents"said AB1 .immediately they left. the rest of us activated our alert mood and watched our backs carefully.
"Owl wuuuuuull"the beast roars again,am thinking it's a wolf,apparently after hours of watching the tent and hearing lots of roars from the wolf we decided to go back into out tents and sleep. But we couldn't because AB1, 2 and 3 were not back.before we could decide to go after them we saw them running towards us apparently the Beast which happens to the wolf was running after them, the rest of us took to our heels with our tourch lights few minutes later AB2 screamed"stop"and that's when we halted.
"The wolf is dead"she said.am like what?cause everyone of was too busy running away from it to shoot at it so how come.
Apparently we discovered that our tents were made of strong wolf bane so immediately the wolf ran into our tent circle it became weak and uncomfortable untill it fell into our camp fire and got roasted.
"Hurray".
